Budget Assumptions Presentation
Port Financial Update Commission Retreat, June 4, 2020 Overview COVID-19 has significantly disrupted major Port business segments: Airline and non-aeronautical activity at SEA Cruise business NWSA is also at risk due to economic impacts on trade flows Initial financial planning and analysis have focused on 2020 impacts and responses Planning horizon is now being extended to 2021 amidst significant uncertainty April Federal Reserve Minutes Highlight Uncertainty and Risks In addition to weighing heavily on economic activity in the near term, the economic effects of the pandemic created an extraordinary amount of uncertainty and considerable risks to economic activity in the medium term. One area of particular concern is what should happen in the event that coronavirus infections should surge later in the year. The minutes noted that the "more pessimistic" outlook for a rebound was probably as likely as the baseline forecast for improvement. In this scenario, a second wave of the coronavirus outbreak, with another round of strict restrictions on social interactions and business operations, was assumed to begin around year-end, inducing a decrease in real GDP, a jump in the unemployment rate, and renewed downward pressure on inflation next year.

This virus will be with us for a long time." - World Health Organization, April 2020 Range of Recovery Scenarios (McKinsey) The difference between outcomes is material.

All are reasonably possible Aviation Baseline assumes enplanement recovery begins later this year, 2021 still weak but significantly better than 2020 Scenario 2 assumes that gradual enplanement recovery begins in early 2021 Scenario 3 assumes enplanement weakness well into 2021, then a gradual recovery begins Non-Aviation Scenarios vary full-year reductions in revenues versus 2020 budget forecasts There are other scenarios that could be better or worse; these provide a reasonable range to inform decisions Scenarios include assumptions about Airport traffic, cruise activity, NWSA performance, stresses on other non-Airport businesses Key Financial Metrics Long standing policies designed to provide resilience in the face of temporary adverse conditions: Minimum Target Operating Fund Balances Airport Development Fund 10 months of O&M expense General Fund 6 months of O&M expense Revenue Bond Debt Service Coverage (annual net income/debt service) Airport 1.25x Non-Airport Businesses 1.8 x Tax Levy has no specific minimum balance Port-wide debt service coverage requirement is also included in bond covenants and is evaluated by credit rating agencies Pre-Covid Financial Metrics Scorecard 2019 Year End 2019 Target Result Ending Airport Fund Balance $307M $314M Met Airport Coverage 1.68x 1.25x Exceeded Ending Non-Airport Fund Balance $156M $45M Exceeded; 3.5x Non-Airport Coverage 1.33x 1.8x Not met Airport coverage supported overall Port-wide coverage Non-airport fund balance provides liquidity for debt service despite low coverage Aviation Division Projected Enplanement Scenarios Compared to 2019 Monthly Comparison to 2019 Levels Scenario 2020 2021 Baseline -61% -30% 2 -66% -36% 3 -66% -46% Current Passenger Decline much greater than 9/11/2001 and 2008/9 Great Recession 4-year recovery after 9/11 3-year recovery after 2008 Great Recession Recovery after Covid-19 uncertain, but likely 3-5 years Airlines have indicated they will emerge smaller from Covid-19 Airport Financial Objectives for 2020-21 Cash flow maintain debt service coverage > 1.25x to avoid debt service surcharge to airlines Liquidity Rebuild ADF target balance of 10 months of O&M (likely need more going forward) Minimize airline annual deficit for 2020 (airlines seek zero) Moderate growth of airline costs in 2021 (airlines seek flat rates) Support non-airline tenants and customers Optimize TSA, FEMA and CARES Act grant reimbursements CPE likely not an important consideration during recovery Summary of Financial Scenarios 2020 Budget BASE case Scenario 2 Scenario 3 in $000s 2020 2021 2020 2021 2020 2021 Aero revenues 401,340 318,312 424,268 319,747 425,259 321,976 429,323 Aero debt service coverage 14,179 19,097 13,904 46,503 Non aero revenues 283,167 113,650 187,010 100,873 171,902 100,873 149,370 Total operating revenues 684,507 431,962 611,278 434,800 616,258 436,754 625,196 Operating expense 377,306 348,826 339,555 348,826 339,555 348,826 339,555 Net operating income 307,201 83,136 271,723 85,973 276,703 87,927 285,641 CARES grant non-operating - 173,133 19,000 173,133 19,000 173,133 19,000 Net operating income after CARES 307,201 256,269 290,723 259,107 295,703 261,061 304,641 Airline surplus/(deficit) at year end (44,869) (65,415) (66,935) Debt service coverage 1.29 1.27 1.25 1.25 1.25 1.25 CPE $ 13.23 $ 28.63 $ 21.74 $ 35.37 $ 25.10 $ 35.57 $ 32.23 CARES grant critical for maintaining debt service coverage, moderating airline costs and airline deficit in 2020 Non-aeronautical revenues decline 60% in base case, tracking closely the reduction in passengers Assumes 2021 O&M budget is 10% lower than 2020 approved budget (modeling assumption) 2021 Aero revenues increase due to increasing capital costs (primarily debt service).
